Fortifying Your Drive with Precision Engineering
From everyday maintenance to full-on performance builds, we've got you covered
Look, we've been working on European cars for years now and honestly, there's nothing quite like 'em. Whether you're rolling in a Bimmer, Audi, VW, or something more exotic, we know these machines inside and out. Every service we offer comes from real-world experience - the kind you get after seeing the same issues pop up and figuring out the best way to fix them properly.
Your check engine light's on again? Yeah, we see that a lot. European cars have complex electronics and honestly, most generic scanners just don't cut it. We use factory-level diagnostic tools - the same stuff the dealerships use, but without the ridiculous markup.
How long does a diagnostic take?
Usually 1-2 hours depending on what we're chasing down. Some gremlins hide better than others.
Do you charge for diagnostics if I get the repair done?
We'll apply the diagnostic fee toward your repair cost if you go ahead with the work same day.
Wanna wake up that engine? We've tuned everything from daily drivers looking for better fuel economy to track monsters pushing serious power. Custom maps written specifically for your car, your mods, and how you actually drive it.
Will tuning void my warranty?
Let's be real - probably. But if your warranty's already expired, there's no reason not to unlock that hidden power.
What power gains can I expect?
Depends on the platform. Turbocharged cars typically see 20-30% gains on Stage 1. We'll give you realistic numbers, not fantasy claims.
Transmission acting weird? Clunky shifts, weird noises, or that dreaded shudder? We work on everything from manual gearboxes to those tricky DSG and ZF automatics. Caught early, most issues aren't as scary as people think.
How often should DSG fluid be changed?
Every 40-60k km, no matter what anyone tells you. Seen too many expensive failures from skipping this.
Can you fix slipping transmissions?
Sometimes. Depends what's going on inside. We'll diagnose it first and give you honest options - repair or replace.
Brakes are kinda important, right? Whether you need a basic pad swap or a full big brake kit for track days, we handle it all. Plus, European brake systems can be picky about parts - we use quality stuff that actually works.
Why do my brakes squeal after replacement?
Usually just bedding-in period. Cheap pads can squeal forever though - another reason we don't use bottom-shelf parts.
Do I really need to replace rotors?
If they're below minimum thickness or warped, yeah. We'll measure and show you - not trying to sell you stuff you don't need.
Regular maintenance might seem boring, but it's way cheaper than fixing stuff that breaks because it was ignored. We follow manufacturer specs but also throw in some real-world knowledge about what actually needs attention on your specific model.
How often should I get an oil change?
Most European cars do well with 8-10k km intervals using good synthetic. We'll base it on your actual driving, not arbitrary dates.
What's included in your inspection?
We check pretty much everything - brakes, suspension, fluids, lights, tires, underneath for leaks. Takes about 30 minutes and we'll walk you through what we find.
This is where things get interesting. Whether you've got a tired engine that needs rebuilding or you're planning a serious build, we've done it all. Turbo swaps, bottom-end rebuilds, head work - if you can dream it, we can probably build it.
How long does an engine rebuild take?
Depends on the scope, but usually 2-4 weeks. We don't rush this stuff - better to do it right once than twice.
Can you help me plan a build?
Absolutely. We'll sit down, talk about your goals and budget, and map out a plan that makes sense. No point throwing parts at a car randomly.
                No surprise bills. We'll give you a detailed quote before starting any work, and if something changes, we'll call you first.
We use OEM or quality aftermarket parts. Life's too short for cheap components that fail in six months.
Our techs have been working on European cars specifically for years. It's not just a job - most of us drive these cars ourselves.
We stand behind what we do. Parts and labor warranty included because we're confident in our work.
Whether you need routine maintenance or a full performance build, we're here to help. Give us a call or book online - we'll get you sorted out.
